To make a statement that I am “religious” and that I haven’t “put on the mind of Christ” is presumptuous at best.

Your answer indicates to me that you didn’t go study this out. That’s okay, but it does seem you are a serious student of the Word. If so, you are doing yourself a disservice to speak so confidently on an issue you haven’t taken the time to understand.

When I used the word “uncertainty”, it certainly wasn’t to indicate I was uncertain, it was to encourage you to go look at the original language and see for yourself. I have no doubt. I have put the time and effort in to thoroughly understand what the word of God says on this issue.

There is a definite difference in “mia” and “heis”, and it is not without reason that mia was used.

Furthermore, look at 1 Corninthians 7:2, it is highly unlikely that Paul would have chosen to use different words for “own” within the same sentence without reason.

Play the word game all you like my friend, but God is not into games, and will have the last word on those those who seek to justify sin and lusts. When you do your homework, you will discover those who launched out beyonds the bounds of one wife in biblical times experienced nothing but trouble as a result. Twisting words, and wrangling the Scriptures in order to justify SIN does not produce a “sweet smelliing,” but rather putrid smell in the nostrils of God, and may compel Him to spew folks out of HIs mouth, who dare to do so.
